Abstract: For articles (i.e., Scientific Research, Review, Reflection), abstracts should provide a relevant overview of the work. We strongly recommend that authors use the following style for structured abstracts, without titles: i) Background: Place the issue addressed in a broad context and highlight the purpose of the study; ii)) Methods: Briefly describe the main methods or treatments applied; iii) Results: Summarize the main findings of the article; iv) Conclusions: State the main conclusions or interpretations. The abstract should be an objective representation of the article and should not contain results that are not presented and justified in the main text, nor should it exaggerate the main conclusions.

Keywords: Keyword 1; Keyword 2; Keyword 3 (List three to five pertinent keywords specific to the article.)

Resumen: Para los artículos (es decir, Investigación Científica, Revisión, Reflexión), los resúmenes deben proporcionar una visión general relevante del trabajo. Recomendamos encarecidamente que los autores utilicen el siguiente estilo para los resúmenes estructurados; sin embargo, sin títulos: i) Antecedentes: Colocar el problema abordado en un contexto amplio y destacar el propósito del estudio; ii) Métodos: Describir brevemente los principales métodos o tratamientos aplicados; iii) Resultados: Resumir los principales hallazgos del artículo; iv) Conclusiones: Exponer las principales conclusiones o interpretaciones. El resumen debe ser una representación objetiva del artículo y no debe contener resultados que no se presenten y justifiquen en el texto principal, ni debe exagerar las principales conclusiones.

Palabras claves: Palabra 1; Palabra 2; Palabra 3 (Enumere de tres a cinco palabras clave pertinentes, específicas del artículo.)

0. How to Use This Template

The template outlines the sections that can be used in a manuscript. Each section has a corresponding style, available in the "Styles" menu of Word. Sections that are not mandatory are marked accordingly. Section titles apply to research articles, while review articles and other types of articles may have a more flexible structure.

Delete this section and start with new one numbering from 1. For any questions, please contact the journal's editorial team (onbk-journal@revistasescuelanaval.com).

1. Introduction

The introduction should briefly place the study in a broad context and highlight its importance. Ensure that the introduction is understandable to scientists outside your field of research as much as possible.

2. Contributions

This section should detail the specific contribution of the study to the existing research. Explain how the work advances knowledge in the area and how it differs from previous studies. It is important to highlight the novelty and originality of the approach, or the results obtained.

3. Related Works

This section should provide a review of relevant related works. Compare and contrast the present work with previous research, highlighting similarities and differences. Cite and discuss studies that have addressed similar problems and explain how the present work fits into the existing literature. This will help situate the study's contribution within a broader research framework.

References should be cited in the text using the author-date format according to APA guidelines. Each reference should be listed alphabetically by the last name of the first author at the end of the manuscript. For example: (Author, Year), (Author1, Year1; Author2, Year2), or (Author, Year, p. 10). For multiple sources by the same author, list them chronologically: (Author, Year1, Year2). For direct quotes, include the page number: (Author, Year, p. 10) or (Author, Year, pp. 101-105).

4. Materials and Methods

This section can be divided into subsections. It should be described in sufficient detail to allow others to reproduce the published results and build upon them. Note that the publication of your manuscript implies that you must make available to readers all materials, data, computer codes, and protocols associated with the publication. Communicate any restrictions on the availability of materials or information during the submission phase. New methods and protocols should be described in detail, while well-established methods can be briefly described and appropriately cited.

Research manuscripts containing large datasets deposited in a public database must specify where the data has been deposited and provide the corresponding accession numbers. If the accession numbers have not been obtained at the time of submission, indicate that they will be provided during the review process. They must be provided before publication.

Interventional studies involving animals or humans, as well as other studies requiring ethical approval, must indicate the authority that approved them and provide the corresponding ethical approval code.

4.1. Subsection

The sections can be structured into subsections and sub-subsections to organize the content clearly and logically. This hierarchical structure helps to break down complex information into manageable parts, making it easier for readers to follow the progression of ideas.

4.1.1. Sub-subsection

Depending on the topics covered in the article, information can be presented using bullet points for summarizing key points and numbered lists for presenting sequential steps or ranked information. This approach enhances readability and helps to emphasize important aspects of the study.

Example of bullet point list look like.

Key Point 1

Key Point 2

Key Point 3

Example of numbered list can be added as follows.

Step 2

3. Results

The results section should present the findings of the study in a clear and concise manner. Use text, tables, and figures to highlight the most important data. Ensure that the data is presented in a logical sequence, often following the order of the methods used to obtain them. Avoid interpreting the results in this section; save this for the Discussion section. Instead, focus on providing a factual account of the findings, emphasizing significant results and patterns observed. Ensure that all figures and tables are appropriately labeled and referenced in the text. If the results are extensive, consider using supplementary materials to provide additional data without overwhelming the main text.

3.1. Guideline for figures and tables

Each figure and table can be adjusted to fit the text margin, as seen in Figure 1 and Table 1. If a larger format is required, it can be expanded to the document margin, as shown in Figure 2 and Table 2. Each figure and table should be numbered consecutively using Arabic numerals and appropriately labeled.

For figures (graphs, photos, and images), they should be inserted as 'graphic objects' and labeled with their respective numbering and bibliographic reference, if necessary, placed at the bottom of each figure. The quality of the figures must be higher than 300 dpi.

Figure 1. This is a figure. Schemes follow the same format.

Table 1. This is a table. Tables should be placed in the main text near the first time they are cited.

Title 1	Title 2	Title 3
Input 1	Data	Data
Input 2	Data	Data1

1 Tables can have a footer.

(a)	(b)

Figure 2. This is a figure. Schemes follow a different format. If there are multiple panels, they should be numbered as: (a) Description of the first panel; (b) Description of the second panel. Figures should be placed in the main text near their first citation.

Table 2. This is a table. Tables should be placed in the main text near the first time they are cited.

Title 1	Title 2	Title 3	Title 4
Input 1 *	Data	Data	Data
Data	Data	Data
Input 2	Data	Data	Data
Data	Data	Data
Input 3	Data	Data	Data
Data	Data	Data

* Tables can have a footer.

3.3. Guideline for mathematical model or equation

List equations with Arabic numbers consecutively, with equation numbers in parentheses flush with the right margin, as shown in Equation 1. In case if a larger format is required, it can be expanded to the document margin, as shown in Equation 2. All Equations included in the paper must be edited using Microsoft Equation Editor.

(1)
(2)

The text following an equation does not need to be a new paragraph. Punctuate equations as normal text.

4. Discussion

Authors should discuss the results and how they can be interpreted in the context of previous studies and working hypotheses. The results and their implications should be discussed in the broadest possible context.

5. Conclusions

The conclusion section should summarize the main findings of the study, highlight the significance of the results, and suggest potential implications or applications. It may also briefly mention future research lines. The conclusion should be concise and provide a clear take-home message from the study.
